What I am working on is tiny and I guess it adds to the difficulty. I continued my work yesterday after going home from dialysis because I need to show some progress. Again it is really hard to have a backpain issue plus the fact that I am having trouble working on my little canvass. It is when I apply the color, it won't "go" on how I want it gets applied on the surface where for example if I work it out, the paint eventually gets stripped-off. I think that I needed to use other means of applying paint like rags, foams, or sponges so that paint would get applied evenly. All aspects of doing this art is truly hard for me including what paint to use. I am only using for now the small 5 mL acrylic paint tubes and just combining them to make some color. When I try to make a lighter color, it still ends up going dark. The plan is to make a gradual intensity in color as the "subjects in the canvass" goes forward to create that depth that I want, but because I wasn't able to do that, the painting looks tragic for me simply because it is not I want to do. But I will try what I can do with all my physical abilities, because it is painful. I only have some ideas as my guide and nothing more except to watch and observe some skilled painters online on how they do theirs. It is a great thing because at least I can learn a bit without going to hire someone to teach me so it makes me know what to do for free although I need to learn 99% of what I need o know no to mention the problem of physical aspect on working on it. But I also lack is skill and talent so even though I see it done for example, I cannot truly recreate it and end-up do not knowing how to do it when it comes to the actual practice on the dreaded canvass. Well again as much as I want to enjoy it, I cannot last even for a short while in doing this new hobby. That is why I end-up taking some pain reliever for my back today to give me some relief if the resulting torture and yet I have done a substantial addition to the canvass. I also find it difficult to talk to the camera because I did planned to talk while doing the painting but it is not possible anymore, I even don't recognize my own voice anymore and it makes me feel embarrassed about it, and I also lose my train of thoughts when I do speak which is why I pause when I want to convey things through spoken words. Anyway, it will take me too much time to finish-up this piece because I have not much idea but maybe I will put crazy things on it. The canvass size is relatively long it for me and I might put many elements to it for as long as I get ideas on what to put on it. It is better to try and I might produce a painting worthwhile to be hung and displayed around this house...where people can't see it. #### Photography device: Vivo X200 PRO #### Camera Sensors: 50 MP Main Camera #### Camera Mode: Photo ##### ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ɪᴍᴀɢᴇs ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴏᴡɴᴇᴅ ʙʏ @cryptopie 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥
